FOREST PARK, Ga. — A 14-year-old boy is dead after authorities say he tried to rob an Atlanta police cadet in the parking lot of an Forest Park apartment complex.
Police say the cadet, a former Marine who was not identified, was working on his laptop in his car just after midnight Saturday when Demarrio Jackson approached him with a shotgun. The cadet gave the laptop to the teen and then drew his own gun and shot Jackson.
Authorities are searching for another suspect believed to be involved with the attempted robbery.
Police do not plan to charge the cadet with a crime because they say the shooting was self-defense.
